Adsorption of Cu(II) and Cd(II) by Na-montmorillonite at low surface coverage in the presence and absence of water soluble complexing organic ligands

Creator:

Inskeep, William Parks

Abstract:

The formation of solution and solid complexes with heavy metals will partially determine their mobility and plant availability in soil systems. Experiments were initiated to determine the effect of pH, adsorbent and initial metal concentrations, and the presence of water soluble ligands on the adsorption of Cd and Cu by...

Surface complexation of protons and sulfate by kaolinite

Creator:

Wildensee, Frank

Abstract:

The emission of sulfur oxides from anthropogenic sources represents a potential threat to terrestrial ecosystems. Sulfate, the most highly oxidized form of sulfur, is the most common form of inorganic sulfur in most soil environments. The sorption of sulfate may influence the alkalinity of the soil solution and as a...
